Floridian, what is your name? Some people call you Celia, and others Cecile, and I'm confused and don't know what to call you!

Her name is Cecile but since most people don't know how to pronounce it (I had to ask), she goes by Celia. She answers to both and I call her both. :P

Ah, I see, it's a matter of, "I don't care what you call me, as long as you call me!". Thanks for clearing this up for me, though. I like the name Cecile (and yes, I certainly know how to pronounce it ;)).

DISASTER

OMG - - first I lifted all the color (dang, hard to do this and not get it all over your head), and it was bright golden whitish/orange....and then....put on medium brown with dark ash blonde....OMG - - now it is

GREEN

:ph34r::o:ph34r::o:ph34r::o

:lol::lol: (I shouldn't laugh :unsure: )

SUSAN!!! NEVER put brown on bleached hair!-As you found out it will go GREEN

(you were supposed to just put Ash Blonde on top of the bleach)

Damn-this cyber hairdressing definitely ain't working out :rolleyes:

....so..what kind of hat are you wearing??!! :lol:

the only thing I've heard about hair color is that the blacks and browns cause bladder cancer...heard this from my friend's mom, a breast cancer survivor...dont' know if this is true or not.

I'll find out for you, lol...been dying my dark brown for years now...

And, re the rashes and whatnot...my hairdresser DOES have some clients who are allergic to the dyes, so she has to kind of rotate them (the dyes, not the clients, lol). I've heard that before from friends too. I don't know if I am or not (so hard to tell), but I can't give up my dye...no no no! No gray for me! :lol:

Ursula....I am SO glad that at least my hair debacle was able to give you a good laugh.... :lol: it is pretty funny....and pretty stupid of me.... :huh:

Nikki - - oh dear - - I didn't know about the brown turning the hair green... :o:ph34r::lol: don't try this at home, folks....

I think I"ll wear a visor today until my appt. The "highlights" are in front mainly, so this should suffice...

I got nothin' else....trying to make jewelry and finding it difficult. Donna - - wish we could have a jewelry-making party together!

Patti - - your Allo cat is SO CUTE!!! :)

Does anybody know what chemicals are in hair dye? (I don't :unsure: ) That green makes me wonder if there's some kind of heavy metal action going on (no, I don't mean the music)? I remember reading a long time ago that beauticians have a very high miscarriage rate, but that was before the days before everybody wore latex gloves for everything. Hmmm...I just can't help wondering about all these chemicals we women are expected to ingest through our skins--hair dye, makeup, hormones, etc.

Like panty hose and high heels (which I am far too clumsy to wear), I bet they were all invented by MEN . :ph34r:

It was an honest mistake, er I saw the thread title and I thought it was like um, er I thought it was like a room with like "Forty-something" women in it (How many, well they're not quite sure, looks like forty-something). I thought to myself, sounds like a good place to be? :huh:

I was going to dispense advice on hair, but I know you're not a fan of the comb-over or mullets, so my bag is empty :(

And there are a couple of great catalogs that are almost wholesale, also ebay is wonderful for gemstones and findings (clasps, etc)....you must NEVER shop at a bead store! :o I also have lots of great websites if anyone (Donna?) needs materials...some great ebay sellers...and get this - was watching an item on ebay, some onyx nuggets, they sold for $32.

You're all full of talk aren't you? .... and how many nuggets are left????? B) I live downtown in this small town (same block as the bakery LOL, and walking distance from Dominos) ... the bead store is two minutes away, walking .... you would definately commit heresy! :lol: Plus, I've never been in there ....

Good luck at the salon, Susan!

Yes, that would be fine :lol::lol: ... I'd stay away from bleach though ... very hard to grow out while you're bleaching, trust me! From what my stylist tells me, color won't lift color, but color will lift natural color (if I understand correctly). I feel like it's been FOREVER to grow mine out. It seems stuck at this length.

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.

      Hi @Nicbent35,             When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration.       With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing.  In the meantime, though, continue on GFD.  Her health is more important than convincing a doctor.  Bring videos of her behaviors if you can.  Even if the blood tests and biopsy prove negative, that is part of the diagnosis process for NCGS and later when she is recovered you can always do a Gluten Challenge.      This is an important time in her developement.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption syndrome, leading to malnutrition, regardles of what she eats.  Though NCGS may not cause malabsorption, it will affect food choices which can lead to malnutrition.  There may be benifits that an official diagnosis may have, but they don't trump a healthy child.      Get her healthy, then worry about validation later.  Celiac Disease is difficult to diagnosed, especially in children, because doctors look for antibodies in the blood and young children have immature immune systems.  Also you don't mention any gastrologic symtoms and celiac disease is traditionally considered gastrolic only.  Not true.  There are over 200 symptom that celiac disease and the accompaning malnutrion mimics or causes that often causes misdiagnosis and delay in recovery. While at the doctors, ask them about vitamin D deficiency and Iodine deficiency in particular. Milk being the primary source of iodine in the diet, but concerns exist regarding the lower iodine content in organic milk and reduced milk consumption in certain demographics.  Vitamin D deficiency is 40% of the industrialized population and a recent study in the Great Britain showed a wopping 60%, beaten only by some areas of Canada at 70%. And B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6.  Deficiencies in these are common in untreated Celiac Disease and they affect energy production. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?
    • knitty kitty
      @plumbago, Are you taking any folate with your B12?   Folate helps regulate HDL levels.  You may try taking a methylfolate supplement with your B12.   If there's a folate deficiency because you aren't absorbing sufficient folate, or have the MThF mutation causing a functional folate deficiency (methylfolate trap), you can have a functional B12 deficiency despite supplementing, resulting in HDL levels not getting regulated, but running high or low.   Pushing the envelope in explanations, too. P. S. Are you taking a B Complex?  Folate and B12 Cobalamine need enzymes made from B6 Pyridoxine's interaction with Thiamine, and B2 Riboflavin's interaction with Thiamine.  Is your Vitamin D low?

      Thank you for all that helpful info, does that mean it’s not a good idea to do what I’m doing? Or since it’s only been a week should I see if I could get her tested now? Would it show up still since it hasn’t been long if they tested her?
